blacknight_8 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 I've got an idea on how R* should prevent piracy at the same time get a no-dvd patch . See the only thing that bugs us is the dvd-check which is the securom . Now , pirates are emulating this securom to by-pass it and fixing some bugs with the same application : LaunchGTAIV . By having a no-dvd patch , the LaunchGTAIV program doesnt have to be used and that means pirates cant have their bug fix .

NIR_NazcaC2 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Just buy a second optical drive. I have two identical drives but inserting the GTA:IV disc doesn't restrict me, even if I had one drive because I don't want to play music discs in parallel. How does it restrict you?

Millenia Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Mine runs without the DVD and I didn't even have to crack it ;D (Maybe that's because I have the STEAM version) But isn't the price to pay for that generally securom + Steam for DRM? Or is it just EA that does that with Steam releases? I already have an assload of Steam games so I don't mind using it, I think it does also have securom but that doesn't really matter tbh At least I don't have to swap discs ;D Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388248-should-we-have-a-no-disc-game/page/3/#findComment-1058821172 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it restrict you? it stops copy to copy stuff. which i never use but i'd still not have sony's sh*te on my pc especially since the rootkit fiasco.

NIR_NazcaC2 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) Personally, I don't mind it; it doesn't hinder anything on my machine. I wouldn't be too concerned. If you want to burn things, get three optical drives (play GTA:IV on one, disc-to-disc on the other two). That seems redundant, two is plenty.

noVa Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 it's one of the less invasive copy protections but as i said ever since the rootkit stuff i really don't trust them, but at least it's not starforce or something horrific like it.

catzilla Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Why the hell should you have more than 2 dvd drives? Just to be able to play a game at the same time? Yeah, great f*cking idea.

blacknight_8 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 But many creators of the fake securom launcher promised to fix the bugs with just the LaunchGTAIV. One of them is Fedor..... not sure if i am allowed to say his name in here. Well , he promised the bug fix and there are lots of comments that his fake launcher really ironed out some bugs.

Well , he promised the bug fix and there are lots of comments that his fake launcher really ironed out some bugs. i happen to use that launcher and its only 28kb big, so if that fixes the bugs then he is one very efficient coder. i think the bugs you are relating to are the bugs that make securom not see the disk which is why he created it and why i use it.

blacknight_8 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Nope . The shaky cam bug for pirates and etc... As i said , if the new patch were to have no dvd-check , the LauncherGTAIV will not be used which will prevent them from having the shaky cam fix bla bla bla .

blacknight_8 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Well well , the gamefix website seems to be of great help esp by Cracking Gods . Sorry R* but we are all legit customers and we want a no-dvd patch . Well , seems like someone got there first and is better than the other creators.

Irrati0nal Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 You guys had to use a crack to get your legit version to work? lolz outstanding yep, on the plus side i don't have securom installed on my pc at all anymore, feel a lot happier not having it on there. It's still in the registry and hiding in protected folders, once it's in it's extremely hard to get out.
